California Wildfires
If you know of any craft artists affected by the fires, help is available through CERF+, an amazing organization that has aided many artisans in trouble.
CERF+ helped Tom and me through 2 bouts of cancer and a house fire. We urge you to donate to these folks.

At the Homestead
Work on the homestead continues as always, though more in the background now as we dive into the holiday season.
Our Defiant woodstove is already pumping out the BTUs and firewood is stacked on the elegant new porch. The now-protected bird-feeder is ravaged daily by entertaining tufted titmice, downy woodpeckers and nuthatches.
Our root cellar is stocked with beets, onions and turnips. We had a failed (way too salty!) batch of pickles and the pears and apples are eaten.
The future "sun room" is even now collecting heat as evidenced by our new experimental toy--a surface thermometer that measures heat on--you guessed it--the surfaces of the insulated cement floor, tubs of water, various ceramic tiles and the woodstove.
Keep on learning!
